Panorama environment¶

panorama-environment-field
A Panorama environment is a background image, which automatically adjusts according to the viewing direction. In contrast to the static background images, which only work for one camera position, a Panorama environment can be used for 360° views. Landscape images and views of the sky work particularly well. One can even take their own 360° picture with their preferred app or a 360° camera of the future building site and load it into ELITECAD.

Configure panorama environment¶

params_
Depending on the type of the image, multiple options can be selected. The button opens a dialog window where the image can be configured.

Skybox¶

Skyboxes usually consist of the six sides of a cube. ELITECAD tries to identify the six sides automatically. The markers indicate where the sides are connected.

This button starts an automatic identification of the sides.
If the automatic identification does not deliver the correct positions, the six squares can be arranged manually in the graphics window.

Skymap¶

A skymap is a panorama image either on a cylindrical or on a spherical surface, which encloses the model.

The panorama can be positioned horizontally in order to align the orientation of the model with the panorama image.
